I'll have to mostly pass on this one. I might be inclined to file a bug (probably against xserver-xfree86) if there isn't one already mentioning crashiness with your video card ... You could try 'xset s activate' as a test of whether it's X's default screensaver stuff kicking in. If so, 'xset s off' disables that. I'm not sure whether this affects GNOME's screensaver, though. > second issue: i have NO idea if this is related, but it'd be swell > if someone could tell me what this "-- MARK --" crap in my messages log > is, & how i can make my new box stop doing it at :10, :30 & :50 on the > hour. there's nothing in crontab. syslogd does this; it's occasionally useful if a machine crashes and you want some idea of when it happened. You can turn it off using the '-m 0' option to syslogd, which you can put in the SYSLOGD="" line in /etc/init.d/sysklogd. It's not related to your first problem. > thanks, cats. you each deserve oral sex. Er, gosh. That's an unusual offer around here. :) Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
